Reborn

21. My dad

3 and half years later

"Okay, start the car Ruby," I ordered my secretary. I'm on my way back to my penthouse. I sigh, looking outside the car window.

After three years and six months I'm coming back here. I had actually come twice to give my exam and the graduation, which Rowan forced me to.

I thought this graduation would be like my past life, empty, lonely, just by myself. But little did I know Rowan's grandma, his father,  my uncle, and my grandparents were all there to surprise me. My happiness knew no bounds that day. I felt too happy and touched. I cherish my graduation photos so much. I never knew a single picture could make me this happy.

That day I received flowers from Kim Taehyung as congratulations, but I simply gave them to my grandma, who loved them. As always, my parents were not there, but the most beautiful fact was that it didn’t make me less happy.

Oh!  I made another friend that day. Not really really close but someone I appreciate. The girl who used to wake me up when the class ended.

Her name is Tae Sumi.

She is a celebrity now. A violinist, pianist and a soloist. She is a self-made woman. Her parents forced her to study medical but she wanted to be a celebrity. She met a director of an entertainment company at the hospital, who offered her an audition.

She cried to Rowan and me over the phone about what to do since she had no one to even talk to. We convince her to give it a try, or she might regret the rest of her life.

And now she is a top celebrity like Rose. Their popularity, talent and beauty rivalled. Her parents now support her truly.

The funny part of the story is that in my past life, no one could compare to Roseanne in South Korea. She was always on top; no one came even close to her limelight. But this has changed now.

If we never convince her to give it a try, she wouldn’t, so no one would rival my sister.

I remember in past if anyone tried to give Rose a competition or someone tried to take the limelight, my parents would indirectly take care of that. But they couldn’t with Tae Sumi because she is an intelligent woman she knows how to deal with this cause of her family.

Her father is the police chief, and her mother is a hospital director. Her brothers are also in powerful positions, so my parents couldn’t get rid of her.

Rowan Hayes is now the owner of the second-best law firm. It took him almost four years; we believe that in one or two years, he'll be at the top. All his hard work has now given him a sweet result.

And me, the project I worked on day and night has finally brought a huge success, which the news broke out internationally. The happiest person is my uncle, who couldn’t be prouder of me. That old man was so proud of me that he came there and hugged me and told me he was proud of me.

He gave me the earrings that he brought from the auction, spending millions on them, as my 21st birthday gift.

Not only him, but Rowan and Sumi also came to celebrate my birthday, which I will never forget.

I took a week off to spend some time with them it was a great time indeed.

"WELCOME HOME MISS CEO!!!!!"

I gasped, looking at the people in front of me, confetti raining over us. They cheer up

Rowan, my uncle, and Sumi, my butler, were all standing with huge smiles on their face. Even my grampy uncle had a smile on his face. I swear if anyone from work had seen him smile, they would have fainted.

"Welcome back, Miss rich CEO," Rowan whispers as he hugs me.

"I'm curious how much you earn now, y/nie. You are literally the gossip in the town." Sumi said as she hugged me.

My butler looked at me, smiled, and said, "Congratulations, Miss, on your success. Why don't you freshen up? I'll arrange the lunch."

I nodded, Rowan and Sumi followed him to ask more things about flower plants... They love my butler for growing those.

I went over to my uncle, who gladly took me in his arms. I sigh, I was exhausted due to the journey and work, but now I feel happy soooo happy. My uncle placed a kiss on my head and said, "You make me so proud my kid."

I swear if this hasn’t brought tears to my eyes. I pushed back my tears.

"Why are you not my dad?" I didn’t realise that I said it loud till I saw my uncle's eyes turn soft, looking at me like I'm a five-year-old kid.

"Doesn’t matter, you are my kid," he said. I saw tears gathered in the corner of his eyes. I snuggled into his chest a few tears fell from my eyes. This is probably the second time I'm crying after I was reborn.

I've always complained about everything. Now I want to thank you for giving me a second chance. For giving me a dad. So, this is how it felt to have a dad. I don’t think I have anything else to ask for.

I have a dad now, a friend, money, a reputation and people who actually care about me.

I'm thankful.
